Description

ADT Tyco ADT-PS Intelligent Photoelectric Smoke Detector

The ADT Tyco ADT-PS from ADT / Tyco Fire & Security an addressable photoelectric smoke detector designed for commercial fire-alarm systems. It integrates analog measurement and digital signal processing to provide accurate smoke detection and reliable performance in supervised initiating circuits.

Key Features & Benefits

• Uses a photoelectric sensing chamber to detect visible smoke particles (ideal for smoldering or smolder-to-flame fire types).

• Microprocessor-based evaluation: the detector measures chamber responses and compares them with historical data and time patterns to discriminate between nuisance conditions and genuine alarms.

• Intelligent/addressable design: allows each detector to report its unique status and possibly additional data back to the fire-alarm control panel, enabling better diagnostics and maintenance.

• Mechanical compatibility with standard mounting bases for easy installation and replacement in conventional systems.

• Suitable for retrofit or new installations where photoelectric detection is specified or preferred.

Typical Specifications & Notes

• Model: ADT-PS

• Type: Intelligent / Addressable Photoelectric Smoke Detector

• Status: Discontinued (manufacturer note indicates “DISCONTINUED BY MANUFACTURER”).

• Mounting & Wiring: Uses compatible detector base; wiring details depend on system design (addressable loop).

• Intended Use: Commercial life-safety systems requiring advanced smoke detection capability.

Applications & Use Cases

• Commercial buildings such as offices, hospitals, schools, and hotels, where early detection of smoldering fires is critical.

• Systems are upgrading from simpler detectors to intelligent networked devices to improve diagnostics and reduce false alarms.

• Legacy installations where ADT / Tyco addressable systems are present and replacements or spare units are needed (noting the detector is discontinued).
